The Sycamore Gap Tree

The Sycamore Gap tree or Robin Hood tree was a sycamore tree standing next to Hadrian's Wall near Crag Lough in Northumberland. The tree grew in a dramatic dip in the landscape created by glacial meltwater and was described as one of the most photographed trees in the country.

But on the morning of 28 September 2023, the tree was felled. Initially locals thought that the tree had come down as a result of a storm, however, the authorities said they believed it was done deliberately and a result of a deliberate act of vandalism". The individuals responsible are likely to be charged under criminal damage of the Northumberland National Park’s property.
